Getting into the Holiday Spirit

Now that there is snow on the ground, it is looking more like upcoming holiday season. What we need is some music and laughs. This is to offset all the shopping, cooking and cleaning. The first is a holiday favorite from The Pogues called the "Fairytale of New York." The next is from an American original Tom Waits doing "Silent Night + A Christmas Card From a Hooker in Minneapolis." We can't have a good time without a great jam from David Grisman and Jerry Garcia - "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen." We need some laughs with Bob and Doug doing "The Twelve Days of Christmas." We can't forget Cheech and Chong doing "Santa Claus and His Old Lady."
